Can We Talk About...

How FABULOUS all the CHA sneaks are looking so far?? WOW! I can't wait to get my hands on all of this stuff!

First of all, I ADORE all THREE of the new Cosmo Cricket lines!! I have ideas swirling through my head already looking at all of this stuff!!

I LOVE the new Me Likey line from Sassafras, just ordered this one this morning!

Ohhh, and the glitter thickers that just came out, yummy! Can never have too many Thickers! :)

I'm glad I've been working my behind off lately so I can afford all of this stuff, lol!!

I wish I had photoshop or something here at work. I just spent this morning drawing out a bunch of new layout sketches that I can play with this weekend. I want to either scan them in or create them on the computer to share!! Perhaps I will later. Once I get home though it's rare that I get much time to sit and play on the computer. :)

On to things that are a little more personal... this week hasn't been the best week of my life, by far. First, on Monday a guy that I worked with at the cable company in Montana passed away unexpectantly. Everyone who knew him were in total shock, including me. He was only in his 40's, he was such a nice man. I feel so awful for his family. :(

THEN, on Monday night my Mom called to tell me that my Nana (my mom's mom) had fallen ill and was in the hospital with a bladder infection and a broken arm. She found out on Tuesday night that there is a big chance that she's not going to make it. Now, we knew that my Nana's time was coming because she hasn't been well for many years and has been pretty much bedridden for the past couple years, but it is still so upsetting. I love her so much and haven't seen her for 3 years since she moved back to Trinidad in South America to live with my great aunts.

My mom took the first morning flight to Trinidad on Wednesday morning and I still haven't heard from her. She promised to keep me updated as much as she could but she won't be calling too much since international calls are so expensive. I'm guessing that nothing has happened yet but I just don't know for sure! It's driving me nuts! I'm so worried about my Nana and praying she'll pull through PLUS I'm worried about my mom. As many of you know my mom had major neck surgery a couple months ago and she is still far from healed. I know the plan ride, traveling, walking is going to do some damage, I'm so worried this is going to set her months back from being pain free. I just want my mom to heal! Darn health issues, they make me angry! Why can't everyone just be healthy 100% of the time?? lol!

Anyways, please keep my Nana and my mom in your prayers. They are both wonderful woman who deserve to be happy and healthy. I will be praying constantly this next week. I will keep everyone updated and let you know when I hear from my mom.

Thank you for listening to me rant and complain. I know I've been doing it a lot lately but darn it, this has been a hard year on so many people I know!

Well, I hope everyone is having a great friday! TGIF! I can't wait til this day at work is over!! :)
